Re: Multiple apps / one login

I solved this problem by having one app handle all of my logins and
then redirect after authentication to one or more of the other sites.
In the redirect I pass the users temporary token to the second site.
In all the sites during the app.beforefilter I check for this passed
params decode it and read from the model the user that was passed in
and then I set auth true and skip that sites login.

This technique has worked well across multiple servers and even across
technologies meaning going from CakePHP on a linux box to a .Net
server on Windows and later back to the linux box.

From the users point of view they have no idea how many times they
switch from one server to another unless they are really watching the
url.
